Note
1. TSH levels are subject to circadian variation, reaching peak levels between 2 - 4.a.m. and at a
minimum between 6-10 pm . The variation is of the order of 50%, hence time of the day has
influence on the measured serum TSH concentrations.
2. Recommended test for T3 and T4 is unbound fraction or free levels as it is metabolically active.
3. Physiological rise in Total T3 / T4 levels is seen in pregnancy and in patients on steroid therapy.

HbA1c 5.4 %
Interpretation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| As per American Diabetes Association (ADA) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Reference Group | HbA1c in % |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| Non diabetic adults >=18 years| 4.0 - 5.6 |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| At risk (Prediabetes) | 5.7 - 6.4 |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| Diagnosing Diabetes | >= 6.5 |
|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| Therapeutic goals for glycemic| . Goal of therapy: < 7.0 |
| control | . Action suggested: > 8.0 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note
1. Since HbA1c reflects long term fluctuations in the blood glucose concentration, a diabetic patient who
is recently under good control may still have a high concentration of HbA1c. Converse is true for a
diabetic previously under good control but now poorly controlled
2. Target goals of < 7.0 % may be beneficial in patients with short duration of diabetes, long life
expectancy and no significant cardiovascular disease. In patients with significant complications of
diabetes, limited life expectancy or extensive co-morbid conditions, targeting a goal of < 7.0 % may not
be appropriate
3. Any condition that shortens erythrocyte survival such as sickle cell disease, pregnancy (second and
third trimesters), hemodialysis, recent blood loss or transfusion, or erythropoietin will falsely lower
HbA1c results regardless of the assay method
4. In patients with HbA1c level between 7-8%, Glycemark (1,5 Anhydroglucitol) test may be done to
identify those with more frequent and extreme hyperglycemic excursions
Comments
HbA1c provides an index of average blood glucose levels over the past 8 - 12 weeks and is a much better

Note
1. Measurements in the same patient can show physiological & analytical variations. Three serial
samples 1 week apart are recommended for Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL& LDL Cholesterol.
2. NLA-2014 recommends a complete lipoprotein profile as the initial test for evaluating cholesterol.
3. Friedewald equation to calculate LDL cholesterol is most accurate when Triglyceride level is < 400
mg/dL. Measurement of Direct LDL cholesterol is recommended when Triglyceride level is > 400
mg/dL
4. NLA-2014 identifies Non HDL Cholesterol(an indicator of all atherogeniclipoproteins such as LDL ,
VLDL, IDL, Lpa, Chylomicron remnants)along with LDL-cholesterol as co- primary target for
cholesterol lowering therapy. Note that major risk factors can modify treatment goals for LDL &Non
HDL.
